I have a 2008 Samsung LNT4071FX HDTV. When I first turn it

Customer Question

I have a 2008 Samsung LNT4071FX HDTV. When I first turn it on the screen takes almost 30 minutes to 'warm up'. Its starts with blotchy patches of light which then extends to the rest of the screen after 30 minutes. I took apart the TV and replaced both the main large boards. But the TV is still not working and is doing the same thing. Could it be that the actual LCD glass screen is bad or is there another part to it that I can buy and install? Thanks

Both the 'main board' and the 'power board' were replaced from functional parts from online stores. SAMSUNG BN44-00167C FULLY FUNCTIONAL POWER BOARD MODEL LNT4071FX LNT4069FX and Samsung LN-T4071F main board BN97-01739L. The TV does display normal picture after about 30 minutes of 'warming up' were the light will spread to the rest of the tv.

Unfortunately it is LCD panel internal failure and entire screen will be replaced to resolve the problem but it would cost more than new TV price of same size if still available with Samsung Parts in area. I wish I had better news about TV problem. I trust my input will help you out. Please feel free to respond if you have any additional questions.A positive rating to answer would be greatly appreciated, please click on smiley face/star on this page then click submit/finish button so I can get credit on website for my work.

Okay. Thats what I thought it was originally in the beginning of our conversation. I will rate you well but will I still be charged the additional fee over $5 for the full $27 even though I diagnosed the problem too? Thanks.

I was just charged the full price on my credit card but I didn't want that to happen unless I got an answer which I didn't know myself. Please make sure I get credited back.

Its up to you to rate me so I get paid by website for my work/ efforts and the pictures you posted actually helped a lot to confirm the diagnosis, without looking at TV screen (in real or through pictures) it wasn't possible to diagnose the issue.
